The subclasses of Warp specify translations from input (a number) to an output (another number). This is an abstract class - already available shapes are linear, exponential, sine, cosine, decibel, curve (this is similar to the curves in envelopes, see also Env).

Warps are internally created by ControlSpec. Usually they are created by the message asWarp, understood by symbols and numbers. A warp has a Spec to specify a certain range of input and output values.
